Wageningen University & Research (WUR) is the Dutch public research university and research foundation for healthy food and the living environment, in Wageningen, Netherlands, and ranked #100 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its programmable footprint is real but small, and it sits in the research institutes rather than in a central developer platform: AgroDataCube, run by Wageningen Environmental Research at agrodatacube.wur.nl, is a token-gated REST API over an open agri-food data collection for the Netherlands; the WFBR API Portal, run by Wageningen Food & Biobased Research on its own Azure API Management instance, publishes a Food API behind registration and WUR's own terms of use; the university library operates a complete, keyless OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint at library.wur.nl/oai over "Wageningen University & Research Publications", serving Dublin Core, MODS, DIDL and OpenAIRE/DataCite metadata; and Wageningen Marine Research runs an OGC WMS/WFS GeoServer at opengeodata.wmr.wur.nl. WUR also operates two SAML identity providers registered in SURFconext and therefore eduGAIN. What WUR does not have is a central API programme: there is no institution-wide developer portal, no course-catalog or registrar API (api.wur.nl and ssc.wur.nl resolve but time out from the public internet), and no published OpenAPI of its own — every OpenAPI in this repository is ours, derived from WUR's Postman collections and from live probes. The Research Portal at research.wur.nl is an Elsevier Pure tenancy: WUR's data and DOIs, Elsevier's contract, and it is recorded here as a tenant relationship rather than credited to WUR as engineering.
Wageningen University & Research publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including WUR Library OAI-PMH API, Altitude API, KPI API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Research Data.
The Wageningen University & Research catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Wageningen University & Research’s developer surface includes API reference, GitHub presence, authentication, and 17 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Education & Research regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare
no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's
denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to
upsert.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

detail: 'Four institution-operated machine-readable surfaces were found and probed live, which is more than most universities
in this cohort have: AgroDataCube v2 (agrodatacube.wur.nl, token-gated, routes answer 403 "No token supplied" rather than
404), the WFBR Food API on WUR''s own Azure API Management instance (registration-gated; the portal catalogue is an SPA
and the management API answers 401, so the contract itself is not readable), the library OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint at library.wur.nl/oai
(fully open, all six verbs verified), and the Wageningen Marine Research GeoServer at opengeodata.wmr.wur.nl (WMS/WFS
live; global GetCapabilities disabled, so the layer catalogue is not anonymously enumerable). Two SAML IdP entities in
SURFconext/eduGAIN add an identity-federation surface. The profile is thin in one specific way and it is worth naming:
WUR publishes no OpenAPI, no central developer portal and no registrar/course-catalog API — api.wur.nl (137.224.9.86)
and ssc.wur.nl (137.224.205.63) both resolve in DNS but time out on :80 and :443 from the public internet, and osiris.wur.nl
answers 403. The AgroDataCube v1 base is retired (HTTP 404), which is why the five AgroDataCube contracts in this repo
were re-based onto v2 in this run.'
